Green Valley Sheriff’s Auxiliary Volunteers

Carol Roskey

There was a rash of vandalism in Amado Thursday night. The Sheriff’s Department and SAV received numerous calls regarding spray painting on cars and garage doors. The vandals often used slang words and references.

A Green Valley resident was harassed by a series of telephone calls from a person representing to be a Credit Union in the resident’s home state. The Green Valley resident answered several questions until they were asked for their account number. At that point the reporter hung up. However, several more calls were received before the caller stopped trying. Remember to never give out account number over the telephone and do as this resident did—hang up.

Another Green Valley resident was contacted by a financial services company for payment of the purchase of some electronic equipment. After our caller said he had purchased no such equipment, the company advised our caller that his social security number had been used to purchase the equipment. He was advised to file a police report. Remember to always protect your social security number and to keep your card in a safe place.
